The city’s namesake Chicago Theatre, in the Loop neighborhood, has to be mentioned. From the emblematic neon sign to its dazzling French Baroque interior, this renowned venue cannot be missed. It hosts a remarkable range of events, so there really is something for everyone. It doesn’t hurt that there’s not a bad seat in the house, either. Enjoy their fantastic acoustics, after drinks on the roof of the Wit Hotel.

While the Chicago Theatre preserves the history of the city, the Double Door, in Wicker Park, brings its audiences a more modern feel. Since 1994, this nightclub’s smaller capacity has afforded its clientele intimate shows with performers like the Smashing Pumpkins, The Rolling Stones, and Wilco. And while the club has only been open for a couple of decades, it should be noted that it has a personal history; several parts of the film High Fidelity were shot here. The Double Door also boasts great drink specials, a dance floor, and pool tables.

Chicago concert tickets are a market niche unto themselves, due to the city’s music-centered culture.

After taking a year hiatus from the fest, we looked forward to experiencing Saturday of HARD's Day of the Dead once again. In particular, we were stoked to check out the new venue -- the Fairplex -- and see what its fairgrounds were all about.

The guys hit up Exchange LA on June 26th. The club was completely packed. A SOLD OUT show. And we were lucky enough to get after it, dancing into the morning hours at a VIP table, overlooking the show.
